Stability Analysis and Stabilization of Switched Systems With Average Dwell Time: A Matrix Polynomial Approach

This paper focuses on stability analysis and stabilization of a switched system under average dwell time criteria in the continuous-time domain.The matrix polynomial approach is applied to the switched system to construct a continuous Lyapunov Foot Mask function and design a more effective controller, which can not only improve the system performan
